TLC Centerline Expands Into Florida

Santa Ana, CA (October 21, 2009) – TLC Centerline has expanded its national footprint by opening three locations in Florida.

TLC is a leading specialty staffing company that partners with fleet operators and business logistics companies to provide qualified truck drivers on a temporary or fully outsourced basis. TLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of TrueBlue, Inc. (NYSE: TBI), which also operates blue-collar staffing brands Labor Ready, Spartan Staffing, CLP Resources and PlaneTechs.

“We’re excited about bringing TLC Centerline to Florida because of the large number of business prospects and the ready pool of drivers,” said TLC Centerline President Jill Quinn.

The company recently rebranded and the Florida offices will be the first to carry the Centerline name. The company is planning to introduce the new name at its other locations across the country in the coming months.

The new Centerline branches in Florida are located at 615 First Street East in Lakeland; 601 Dogtrack Road in Longwood; and 7933 Baymeadows Way, Suite 1 in Jacksonville.

“We’re actively reaching out to logistics, distribution and trucking companies with our message that we can help them manage the risk that comes with employing drivers by letting us take on the burden of recruiting, hiring and employment, as well as managing all the industry-required compliance demands,” Quinn said. “That message has been well-received within the transportation industry, particularly in the current economy.”
